Keenan Henderson Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 You guys are on it this morning! It has been kind of slow on the basketball side so good to hear of ORU signing Navarro. He looks like he has a solid all around game: scoring inside and out, some defensive ability, and good length on the wing. I also liked his pump fakes and underhand scoop shots at the basket. That is even a little old school! He will probably need time to develop but could be a good glue type player in the future aka Carlos Jurgens Jr. For you ORU history buffs: when was the last time the Eagles had a guy from Spain on the team? I have no idea maybe it is a first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaglefan 21 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Was Javier nassier a Spaniard? Only played 1 year at ORU as I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted May 16, 2023 Author Share Posted May 16, 2023 I can't recall ORU ever having a Spaniard on the team. I will say this: from what I've seen at the college, professional, and international level, the next time I see a Spaniard play defense will be the first.

theeagleman5 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 TheEagleman thinks this Spaniard may have played at ORU briefly while searching for the 6 fingered man..... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cornelius Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Navarro and Williams on the wings 1 hour ago, Old Titan said: I will say this: from what I've seen at the college, professional, and international level, the next time I see a Spaniard play defense will be the first. Just in those video clips Navarro's on ball defense doesn't look too bad to me (obviously we all know how YouTube clips of players can be misleading ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appears he's only 17 or 18 years old (born in 2005), so plenty of time to work on those defensive skills. Also assuming he will be classified as a freshman.

They may want to check his birth certificate as he looks like he is 25 or 26!:) If he turns out to be a Lance Williams clone that would be a very good thing for ORU! Nice pickup for next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUalum Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 not a whole lot of offers....perhaps the ACL hampered his recruitment coming off injury and adjusting to ball in the US, he might be a redshirt candidate. intriguing prospect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I’m told that Pablo is on campus…. and his picture is finally on the ORU roster page. https://oruathletics.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogus Smith Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 He's missed all the summer workouts and practices. Unless he is well-advanced in his development, we should not be surprised to see Pablo redshirted which will allow him to get acclimated to his new surroundings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 It's clearly a slow sports time at ORU when we are closely monitoring the movements of Pablo Navarro....... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
